BANTA, Dlrettor :~~~~~ ~~ <br />October 3, 1989 <br />Mr. James Stover <br />Blue Ribbon Coal Company <br />743 Horizon Court, Suite 205 <br />Grand Junction, CO 81506 <br />Dear Mr. Stover: <br />The following questions resulted from an examination of the new 100-year <br />culvert installation during the September 26, 1989 mine inspection: <br />1. Will the inlet be subject to any head? <br />2. The current inlet needs to be fortified by increasing the berm height <br />and improving the riprap. <br />3. The pipe is laying on grade or is supported by a V ditch configuration. <br />How will this pipe behave when flowing full? Does this material lend <br />itself to unprotected installations successfully? Our concern is that <br />it will tear itself apart during full flow since it is currently <br />unrestrained. A copy of the manufacturer's specifications may indicate <br />appropriate use and installation. <br />Please respond at your earliest convenience. As always, if you have any <br />questions, do not hesitate to contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />• ~~ <br />Ftatthew S. yes 111 <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />MSH/ern <br />Ol 90F <br />215 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203.2273 Tel.
